Can you please help me, i know i have to use L'Hospitals rule, but i cant seem to get the correct answer i end up with 7cosX/4, but i dont know where to go from there i dont even know if i'm doing it right. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First thing you have to do is know the derivative of 7^(sin(x))
7^(sin(x)) = e^(ln(7^(sin(x))))
= e^(sin(x) * ln(7))
d/dx 7^(sin(x)) = ln(7) * cos(x) * e^(sin(x) * ln(7))
= ln(7) * cos(x) * 7^(sin(x))
Hence, using L'Hospital's Rule, the limit is equal to:
lim as x -> 0 of ln(7) * cos(x) * 7^(sin(x)) / 4 = ln(7) / 4
If the equation is
7^(sinx) - 1/(4x)
That's the same as
lim(x->0) 7^(sinx) - lim(x->0) 1/(4x)
In which case, you only need to use L'Hospital's Rule on the second equation, as the first simplifies to 1. However, you should notice that 1/x approaches positive or negative infinity as x becomes 0, depending on which way you approach it from. In this case, there is no solution.
If the problem is
7^(sinx) - x/4
Then just substitute 0 in to get 1. In either case, L'Hospital's Rule is not needed.
do you not know that the derivative of a^(b(x)) is [a^b] b '(x) ln a...{ ln 7 / 4}
i don't speak math!
